he wins the right to drill in greenland's pristine eyes after promising it will be careful but activists are unconvinced pointing to the gulf of mexico disaster and the firm's checkered past as warnings of what's to come. as security collapse in iraq worsens a wave of bombings killing twenty people in the capital as an al qaida offshoot exploited the dire situation to gain control over the city of fallujah. and britain's pm threatens to take on the e.u. over a cutting welfare team in grants but critics say it's a cynical move to lure voters back from the right.

which in our state or national coming to you live from the russian capital i'm marina josh welcome to the program and greenland has decided to open up one of the world's most pristine and dangerous environments to oil drilling and environment so on forgiving in fact that many international oil giants have shied away from getting involved because of the potential risks but not b.p. the company responsible for turning the gulf of mexico into nickel logical catastrophe nearly four years ago has been given drilling rights in eastern greenland greenpeace says a bagger is believed that a firm with such a patchy history could be allowed to work in such a fragile region reports on why the country shifted its environment first stance. british petroleum has been denied any drilling licenses in the united states for more than a year now the deepwater horizon spill taking its toll on the company's reputation but this mattered little to the new government in greenland drilling. and all

exploration off the western coast of the country particularly from the bay has already been underway for some time by the likes of shell chevron and exxon mobil but b.p. and its partners will now explore the concession in the north east which amounts to thousands of square kilometers some believe there may be a huge reserve of oil there up to one hundred ten billion barrels potentially the largest in the whole of the arctic the decision of greenland leadership is a complete u. turn from what it said only nine months ago when a moratorium on any further drilling was imposed due to environmental concerns the latest move is understood to be tightly connected with greenland strive for independence from denmark but clearly it's the black gold which could make greenland both economically and politically independent and the government is happy to have more international oil giants on board to boost these ambitions however not everyone is as thrilled to colleges have already blasted the move. checkered record describing the arctic environment as very fragile they say that even a minor oil spill in the crystal clear waters of greenland could cause a major disaster b.p. officials say they will take several years to carefully prepare for the challenging

exploration work given the intensity of environmentalists criticism it's almost guaranteed that this period will be marked by the protests of those opposed to any drilling in the arctic. for b.p. if these past few years have not been kind of when it comes to its track record in two thousand and five fifteen people died almost two hundred were injured in the explosion at a texas refinery the company admitted to norad safety procedures here later leaks at an alaskan oil field spilled almost a million tons of crude into the landscape and in twenty ten the deepwater horizon rig exploded sparking the worst offshore oil spill in u.s. history and doing incalculable damage to livelihoods and the environment finally a year later thousands of tons of chemicals and a mix of water in a while were spilled went to pipeline burst in another alaskan oil field this track record was of special concern to greenpeace an arctic campaigner who we spoke to

and he told us that greenland should think twice it's very important that the green and the government and the greenland population is aware that the risks that the station would have been my means the consequences but also have is a spill happens when a spill happens have massive consequences for for example the fishery site saying greenland it is just to be interest say the conditions on extremely harsh. light on collision course almost on a daily basis women can schedule a company that ration drillings back in two thousand and eleven they had to show way around two hundred icebergs over a period of just a couple of months because they were on a collision course with the oil break if one of these all these barracks on sort of way and actually hits it hits the oil rig there will of course be environmental consequences and at the same time the snow technology to clean up. whether it's because the cold means that you will have to remove all the oil manually there will

be no not true degree days and you won't be able to use technologies in monuments like the greenlandic ones. looks like hard of a time fashionistas are turning from designer to discount there just isn't the cash question on a high end only grown couture layer will tell you why the made in china where you vote is in the season. and we also take you to a big cat sanctuary and sochi as we continue our tour of the winter olympics host city. a new wave of bombings has ripped through commercial districts of the rocky capital killing at least twenty people that as a country's bloodless army could be preparing to attack and recapture fallujah after an al qaeda linked group gained would hold their party supposedly or has more is not the elements with al qaeda links have overrun the iraqi cities of pollution

and ramadi and thousands of residents are fleeing these area as government forces launch airstrikes and fire artillery shells the iraqi prime minister nouri al maliki has evolved that government forces will not be this area until all these extremist elements are to quote him eliminated but he does admit that for now the government has lost control in these cities in recent days the militants received a boost as they were joined in the fight against the baghdad government by sunni tribesmen and what is interesting is that it marks a change from the years prior to the u.s. withdrawal when major sunni tribes turned against al qaeda what we're witnessing now is that they join forces with these al-qaeda groups against the shiite led government now the american administration has been slammed for creating the situation there are many who predicted that once the u.s. forces withdrew from iraq they would be a vacuum that would be created and that this would be fulled with extremist

elements the u.s. secretary of state john kerry has promised support for the baghdad government that he has ruled out the possibility of boots on the ground he has said that the u.s. would not. send troops back to that country to quote kerry he says that this fight is the fight of the baghdad government iran has also said that it is prepared to me and military support to the baghdad government and save troops to help fight al qaeda there while enabling syria the al qaida fighters who are embattled with the syrian president bashar assad in recent months have been gaining ground and gaining strength. during the u.s. led campaign and he thinks that dire security was the inevitable result. i've come a long way since my time an illusion two thousand and four there's been a four step back and you know i've been involved in a lot of various efforts here in the united states to help veterans out with p.t.s.d. and things like bass so i guess it's as if it's incredible to see that you know

a lot of the rejections that those of us who understood what the war was about at least figured out and we got home coming true now because when you understand the nature of war as a racket you want to stand the true motivations behind the united states invasion occupation when you want to stand what kind of puppet government was installed in iraq your stand it was really only a matter of time before this happened. as the country's prime minister and his cabinet have completely failed to save the country from ruin the hasn't been able to stop the terrorist acts which is the taking the lives of the civilians in that he is now accusing the guy there which is someone else that being the one who was causing it he is the government is totally incapable of controlling she didn't go that did south except that the people that are. being put and very tight

slot because the government is allowing people to go out beating anybody who comes out in the street even raising their voices this is really a tragedy. and in our website we are running a project dedicated to keeping tell you of the violence in iraq especially the human cost also there read up on a former u.s. commanders dire predictions for afghanistan's future. and it tells us why and how the hotly contested helmand province could fall to the taliban this year from where they could challenge the authority of kabul. google glass already needs to look sharp and other u.s. companies unveiled contact lenses powered with nanotechnology which could revolutionize the wearable computer market. smoke and mirrors rumors abound of the governor of new york is about to allow more i want in the medical system about to on our website r.t.

dot com. he survived war atrocities. to make a psychologist so she. has changed his life and the world around him. by giving up. hope. and loves to so many children. nikolai the american worker on the train. dramas that trying to be ignored. stories others to a few still notice. the faces changing the world lights now.

full picture of today's you know. from around the globe. look to. i know c.n.n. the m s n b c news have taken some slightly but the fact is i admire their commitment to cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be accurate cut that was funny but it's closer to the truth and might take. a. look at the goods because one whole attention and the mainstream media works side by side the joke is actually on the we're going to be coming back. at our teen years we have to print for. the good because the news of the world just is not this funny i'm not laughing dammit

i'm not. ok i've. got to stick to the jokes i will handle the stuff that i have got to. give her a. very hard take a. look. at her back with me here's.

the thing. welcome back watching artsy international britain's prime minister once a country to stand up to the e.u. and demand the riaa to stop paying child welfare to new arrivals from abroad whose families are overseas his critics say is scrounging for popular support as voters increasingly look further and further right wing when it comes to immigration and can help live to r.t.s. or further who is in london who's got more on this jose serra well it seems like david cameron is coming under fire from a lot of quarters these days for his comments so why is there such

a fuss over this issue. well he indicated over the weekend that person may seek a cap on the migrants saying that the u.k. also needs to look carefully at the way the migrants can claim benefits and this is during an interview the b.b.c.'s andrew marr show on sunday and the prime minister had said that without any. opposition in. whether tougher measures can be had than we currently have and when he was asked whether he meant a cap on migrants he said that all options were on the table knows he said this is part of these wider plans that the prime minister has to renegotiate britain's relationship with europe and the prime minister insisting that he's already made progress on those renegotiation plans he came under some ridicule on twitter from the ukip leader nigel for as he said david cameron seems to be trying to sound like me the difference is that i believe what they say now of course that might cause

some confusion amongst the public and it's felt by many that the conservative party line on immigration has been somewhat confused because you've had the borders opening up. garia romania at the beginning of the year and say possibly a bit of confusion over the prime minister's strong words over what his plans for the future are with that renegotiation and of course the big question is because you've got a huge couple of years coming up you've got local elections this year you've got the general election in twenty fifteen and then we want to see this for the renegotiation ahead of the referendum vote in twenty seventeen and of course the big question is that whilst the prime minister might be saying all of this and putting these very tough plans on the table the big question remains as to whether the e.u. would accept these terms of renegotiation and a lot of people feel that quite simply that won't be acceptable to the other members of the. world so thanks so much for explaining things for us here sarah

firth reporting from london. and for its parts the u.k. the panel's party says any changes on european immigration by david cameron will be nipped in the bar by that. unfortunately he's desperately struggling to find a political solution to the problems of immigration where he is losing in the polls and he is now seeing the labor party's leader also beginning to try and find solutions to the problem of immigration we've had mass open door immigration in the united kingdom over the past decade it's had problems on schools hospitals infrastructure and pushing down wages in the country that is why he is struggling the only clear solution is to get your control of your borders back in order to do that you have to leave the european union if he wants to make the changes that he suggested he has to actually get treaty changes and agreement from other countries and they've already had the european commission in the form of perot's so they said that won't happen well leopards might not be the first thing to spring to mind when

you think of the winter olympics but these big cats are assembled for sort of twenty fourteen for a reason the area is home to the endangered creatures who are fighting tooth and claw to survive to buy i would say is a sore cheek to find out what's being done to help still be hunted is resourceful scavengers persian let the smallest little while can't one stop these mountains in the caucuses. now these full of three elusive and skillful needed to be introduced to their natural habitat after fifty years thanks to the caucuses nature reserve leopard sent. its part of a program lim to the still g twenty four team lead to gains that aims to preserve and improve the region's wildlife and environment.

richard though the animal has been spotted on the russian caucasus a few times there is no viable leopard population there our program is designed to start a new population of the personal library in the caucasus mountains and to restore the species in its natural habitat but there has been success here two cups born at the national park in july with the first ever born in captivity. their parents have been brought in from lisbon zoo in portugal to to yes for them to get used to their new home and each other. the connection wasn't to mediate but dick come and there for his kids was captured on camera the health of the family will be wanted today using g.p.s. chips will the next twenty years all in all the center now has ten leopards it's hoped to this group can lead to a resurgence for the species the leopards live in

a temporary open the cages in the reserve which i quipped with cameras there observed closely while the adept before being released into the wild their food is pig releasing the cages to shop in out their hunting skills. one cub that wasn't shy about cameras was groom his mother neglected him after he was born now they keep use that as falls to parents taking them for walks feeding him and giving him extra love and attention. now graham he is only six months old he's pretty happy and he will be here making sure that there's more of him out of this nature park to bomb with say in so she's nature park for. such of the twenty fourteen olympics what's this place like the law is is so special as the russian resort prepares to welcome the world power the games should

be the city's present future what more sochi will bring you this is the moment they're reporting from a very cold and snowy windy mountainous stop here beyond the olympics but the bombing marks a. marked change. now italy may be the world's fashion capital but if the zeiner is need to look over their padded shoulders at what's coming in from the east chinese fakes are slipping into the country and they're convincing enough to win over cash strapped shoppers were just going off size up the competition. on july first i four generations of this family have made their living from the textile business italian kashmir silk garden you name it these people have quality clothing in their d.n.a. a higher quality which we were in fewer customers are able to afford now we declare this the people what they they are interested in the nice thing sir but that they

have no money to buy and they go to buy a cheap pair of boots and this is ladies and also why is the pride of the rubbish bad the junk food the drunken clothes or as the economy struggles to go on in this recession in half a century demand for luxury goods among italians is going down but for some the crisis has provided great opportunities just like many other cities across the world rome has its own chinatown as well whole district in the center of the city filled with showing these businesses which go way beyond sticks to take out and include shops or even boutiques and chinese clothes which have been spreading all around formal casual sporty every size and styles clothes and footwork are presented here and with a price tag sometimes as much as ten times lower than the competition it's flying off the shelves there is nothing to think about here i'm not going to spend my last

cash under such i buy chinese stuff yes they make good cotton clothes sometimes but i always check the label for first and here's the punchline the chinese schools are not made in china anymore materials are imported yes but sister assembled here just lieschen allows the made it will be stamped on every item something you tell you companies want changed if you need shelly's they are some blood off that as a product but there we are working extensively on quality and not on that on quantity with large quantity and low prices have proved. tactic for the chinese who were going to the bank of italy general at least one of the half million dollars out of italy to china you should be good it's been over for tea room. some other stories from around the world and the opposition syrian national council of still a conference in turkey that a want to take part in talks with president assad government other members of the

a man who has taken childcare to new heights and if you're in britain it's going underground stay with us. there are many internal battles in society liberals and conservatives will never agree on gun rights or abortion but there is one battle that is often more generational than anything the battle for school uniforms teachers argue that uniforms eliminate a big distraction in the classroom and break up the caste systems that can evolve at school between the cool fashionable kids and the ones who can barely afford lunch like me in my younger years but teenagers will scream uniforms crush their freedom of expression and that they have a right to express who they are their individuality who has the right to dictate to them what to wear the thing they don't realize is that if the school doesn't tell

them what to wear that big corporations and m.t.v. will all the cool individuals who dress alike and blindly follow all the trends are just obeying corporate marketing instead of their parents yeah for some reason it is bad if the school punishes you for dressing improperly but if the cool kids make your life a living hell for not wearing the right brand of shoes well that's all well and good for some reason hey look at it this way school uniforms are cheap which leaves more money for parents to buy you video games being individual in your actions and not a fake individual in trendy clothes but that's just my opinion. live
